Redding Three Die Set .44 Special/.44 Magnum

1. Precision Engineering for Straight-Wall Cases: This three-die set is specifically designed for straight-wall handgun cartridges like the .44 Special and .44 Magnum. It ensures that brass cases are consistently resized, expanded, and crimped, which is paramount for reliable feeding in revolvers and lever-action rifles. The dies are crafted from heat-treated steel and polished to minimize friction, preserving brass life and simplifying the reloading process.

2. Full-Length Sizing and Decapping: The first die in this set performs a full-length sizing operation, returning the fired case to its original factory specifications. This is essential for ensuring trouble-free chambering and extraction. Simultaneously, it effectively removes the spent primer, preparing the case for a new primer and powder charge. This comprehensive sizing stage forms the foundation for accurate and safe ammunition.

3. Optimized Bullet Seating with Roll Crimp: The final die combines bullet seating and roll crimping into one fluid operation. The bullet seating function allows for precise control over overall cartridge length, which is vital for accuracy and proper feeding. The integrated roll crimp, essential for revolver ammunition, firmly secures the bullet in the case, preventing movement under recoil and ensuring consistent powder ignition.

4. Designed for Consistency and Durability: Redding dies are renowned for their superior quality and longevity. Each die is meticulously machined to tight tolerances, ensuring that every reloaded round mirrors the last. This consistency translates directly into improved accuracy on the range or in the field, making this set a preferred choice for serious handloaders, competitive shooters, and hunters who demand precision.

ABOUT THE REDDING THREE DIE SET .44 SPECIAL/.44 MAGNUM

This design minimizes bullet jump under recoil, ensuring consistent ignition and improved accuracy. Constructed from heat-treated steel and featuring polished surfaces, these dies reduce brass wear and friction, extending case life and simplifying the reloading process.
